Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Says Its 'Full Attention' Is on Its Next Game, 'Media Blackout' for the Foreseeable

By PenelopeFeb 21,2025

Larian Studios, the creators of the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3, have announced a complete shift in focus to their next project, initiating a self-imposed media silence.

While a highly anticipated Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is slated for release later this year, Larian's leadership has confirmed their undivided attention is now dedicated to their next venture. Swen Vincke, Larian's head, recently tweeted a reflection on the studio's journey with Baldur's Gate 3, hinting at future endeavors while acknowledging the need for a creative refresh.

In a subsequent statement to VideoGamer, Larian officially declared a "media blackout," emphasizing the team's complete dedication to developing their next title.

Details about Larian's upcoming game remain scarce. What we do know is that it won't be a Baldur's Gate sequel or any other D&D-related project. Instead, it's an entirely original creation, a departure Larian chose after internal discussions failed to generate enthusiasm for a Baldur's Gate continuation.

Previous statements from Vincke offer only cryptic hints. In November 2023, he alluded to the game's boundary-pushing ambition. Earlier, in July 2023, he mentioned the eventual possibility of a new Divinity: Original Sin game, but stressed that it wasn't an immediate priority.

Speculation abounds regarding the nature of Larian's next project. Given their history with fantasy RPGs, a shift to science fiction, a modern setting, or even a completely different genre is entirely possible. However, it seems likely that significant time, potentially years, will pass before any concrete details are revealed.
